"Being debt free is better than spending feels."
This blog will follow the ups and downs of living on a beer budget ($40,000/year) in Ottawa. I am a 20-something girl who came out of 2 degrees with $33,000 in student loans. Through dedication and hard work that was paid off in less than a year and I now own a home. I am not a financial planner or expert, but have developed an interest in my finances and how to make the most of my income. Questions? Email me at bigcitybeerbudget@gmail.com

April Goals

It's hard to believe that April is already here. The year thus far has just flown by.

I've put together my goals for the month:
- Attend 2 free events in the city
- Make $150 extra for my travel fund
- See friends from home (at least) once
- Go to the gym 16 times
- Spend money on a lunch out a maximum of 2 times (spend $20 max for both)
- Design tutoring service signs/web posting.
